The specification discloses an album type package (10) for holding a magnetic tape cassettes, and particularly either of two different predetermined sizes of video cassettes (28). The package (10) includes covers (12, 14) hinged to opposite sides of a spine (16), on which is mounted a rectangular boot or tray (26) for receiving a cassette in edgewise relationship therein. A lug (36) on the back cover (14) positively retains the cassette in the tray (26) when the cover is releasably secured by a lock (30) to the tray and the package (10) is partially closed. Means (44) are provided for properly locating a second, relatively smaller cassette for engagement with the lug (36). Another lock (38) releasably secures the covers (12, 14) in fully closed position.
